Eating with a mixed group is easier when you can see the vegetarian and vegan choices before setting off. These venues publish relevant menus or identify options themselves. They are mixed menu venues, so a vegan choice does not mean a wholly vegan kitchen. If allergies are involved, contact the venue about ingredients and preparation as a separate question.
Bayside Cabin: a clearly labelled seaside breakfast
Bayside Cabin on Stokes Bay Road, Gosport, PO12 2QT, publishes a breakfast menu with separate vegetarian and vegan dishes. The Vegan Bayside includes vegan sausages, hash browns, tomato, mushroom, beans and toast; the menu linked on 25 October 2026 priced it at £12.95. There is also a larger vegetarian breakfast with eggs and halloumi.
That makes it straightforward to compare a cooked breakfast before a Stokes Bay outing. Check the current menu for substitutions and prices. See Bayside’s breakfast and other menus. Our seaside cafés guide helps with the wider visit.
Amparo Lounge: a shopping centre meeting point
Amparo Lounge is at Unit D10/11, Whiteley Shopping Centre, PO15 7PD. The venue advertises dedicated vegan and gluten free choices alongside its main menu, so it is a practical place to compare options for people with different preferences. Food is served through the day, and the operator mentions board games, toys and a welcome for dogs.
It is part of the Lounges group. Use the venue’s own menu selector to check current dishes, rather than assuming an old favourite is still available. Check Amparo’s current menu and venue information.
Summerhouse: a café option near Titchfield
Summerhouse at Silver Springs, Fontley Road, Titchfield, PO15 6QX, advertises vegan and gluten free options across its café offering. It serves breakfast and lunch as well as cakes and afternoon tea. The garden and play area may be useful when the meal needs to work for children too.
Ask which vegan choices are available for the service you want, particularly for afternoon tea, where advance arrangements may be necessary. See Summerhouse’s menus. It also appears in our coffee and brunch guide.
Powder Monkey Taphouse: check the vegan version
The Powder Monkey Taphouse at Heritage Way, Priddy’s Hard, Gosport, PO12 4FL, marks vegetarian dishes and vegan alternatives on its menu. Its dhansak and vegetarian breakfast have vegan options available. Pay attention to the distinction between a dish that is already vegan and one that needs a substitution.
Say that you want the vegan version when ordering, and ask about accompaniments as well as the main ingredient. Read the taphouse’s current food menu.
A few checks that make ordering easier
For a cooked vegan breakfast by the sea, compare Bayside first. For a mixed group during a Whiteley visit, look at Amparo. For a café outing with garden space, ask Summerhouse about that day’s options. For a harbour pub meal, check the Powder Monkey’s marked alternatives. Menus change with the season, so confirm the dish you want before reserving.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free labels answer different questions. Explain an allergy directly, and ask about sauces, dressings, sides and shared equipment where relevant. For more places to compare, return to the Food & Drink guide.
